Family and friends of three college football players, gunned down at the University of Virginia, called their slayings "heartbreaking and tragic." This is my firstborn child,” he said, adding that his son who could “light up a room just with a smile” was focused on school, football and his family. Their family, from Charleston, South Carolina, was heading to the UVA campus Monday. “It is heartbreaking and tragic that Devin’s young life was cut short by violence," Wisconsin Athletic Director Chris McIntosh said in a statement.

The university’s “threat assessment team” had learned about Jones in September after a third party, who was not a student, reported that he spoke about having a gun, UVA Police Chief Timothy Longo told reporters. He said the school’s student affairs office interviewed Jones’ roommate, who had not seen the suspect with a gun. Steve Helber / APIt wasn’t clear if the school’s internal investigation of Jones possibly having a gun ended with that roommate’s interview. Jones had also been involved in a campus hazing probe, but it did not appear to lead to any disciplinary action, Longo said. A UVA men's basketball home game set for Monday night against the University of Northern Iowa was postponed.

☆ Microsoft insiders describe a leadership vacuum in its metaverse unit as its gigantic US Military contract fell short in its latest test: 'The devices would have gotten us killed'

While "Alex needed to go," insiders say, the mixed reality unit split up after his exit and left a leadership vacuum. In June, Microsoft's Mixed Reality unit — responsible for the HoloLens goggles and other nascent metaverse projects — saw a huge shakeup. Now, months later, Microsoft insiders say the company's metaverse and mixed reality ambitions remain uncertain amid canceled projects, budget cuts, a struggling contract with the United States military, and lack of leadership. One insider said that there's "no roadmap to speak of" for HoloLens as Microsoft instead focuses on the Army contract. Mixed reality teams have already seen significant cuts to their expenses.

WASHINGTON — A federal jury on Friday convicted a QAnon believer who chased down U.S. Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman on Jan. 6, 2021, finding the defendant guilty on all charges against him. On Jan. 6, Jensen filmed videos from the base of the Capitol building, where he proclaimed — inaccurately, but with tremendous confidence — that he was at the White House. “Storm the White House! Goodman, the USCP officer who testified at Jensen's trial, had “no back-up” when he faced off with rioters, Mirell said. More than 850 people have been arrested and more than 350 convicted in connection with the Capitol attack.

Goodman told jurors that he’d been with the Capitol Police for 15 years and he previously was deployed to Iraq for the U.S. Army. Footage released during Trump's second impeachment trial showed Goodman directing Romney to turn around just after the mob had breached the building. The Senate chamber itself went through sweeps by K-9s and bomb squads so that Congress could resume its work, Goodman said. He told jurors to expect to see video of Jensen telling officers to do their job throughout the trial. The FBI has arrested more than 850 defendants in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
